GCP Professional Cloud Architect Practice Question

Your organization has a centralized logging project that receives all Admin Activity audit logs from every Google Cloud project through an aggregated sink at the organization level. Security Operations must be paged whenever someone modifies a firewall rule in any production project. The team wants to rely only on Google-managed services, avoid writing custom code, and keep monitoring data localized in the central logging project to minimize operational overhead. Which design meets these requirements and follows Google-recommended practices for alerting on log events?

  • In the central logging project, define a user-defined logs-based counter metric filtered on the firewall Admin Activity log entries from production projects, and configure a Cloud Monitoring alerting policy that pages Security Operations when the metric's value increases.

  • Add an uptime check that probes the Cloud Firewall API in every production project and creates an alerting policy when the check fails.

  • Configure Cloud Asset Inventory feeds to write firewall-rule changes to BigQuery, then run a scheduled BigQuery job every minute to detect new rows and publish an alert message to Pub/Sub.

  • Deploy a Cloud Function in each production project that triggers from Pub/Sub-exported logs; the function increments a custom metric in Cloud Monitoring, which drives an alerting policy in the function's project.
